Southward the Light of Progress Shines: Illustrated & Descriptive (1905) describes The Glad Hand Saloon:

THE GLAD HAND SALOON, No. 507 South Palafox Street, was established by the proprietor, Henry Rauscher, two years ago. He is a retail liquor dealer, and conducts a well-stocked bar, handling a fine line of imported and domestic wines, liquors, cigars, and tobaccos. Three expert bartenders are at the service of patrons at all times, and the best brands of beers, ale, cordials, and drinks of all kinds are dispensed. The proprietor is extremely popular with the many customers who make the place headquarters, and is a charitable and warm-hearted business man.
